Ningbo government office, although it was already midnight, was still brightly lit.

Magistrate Huang was sitting on the main seat, with a bearded general standing behind him. Zheng Zhipeng was standing in the hall, followed by Li Gang and a group of followers. Between the two of them, there were dozens of soldiers facing each other with swords and guns.

Zheng Zhiyan squinted her eyes and said, "Just three melons and two jujubes, and you still want to arrest my fourth brother?"

The general replied proudly: "There are still eight thousand troops outside the city."

"Eight thousand? Haha, Liu Xiang's more than [-] bandits have been beaten away by us. Are we afraid of your mere [-] soldiers? Don't you think that we can't control them after we disbanded the army?"

"Since you compare my regular master with Liu Thief, then we can give it a try!"

"Just give it a try, are you afraid it won't work?"

It was Zheng Zhipeng who stretched out his hand to stop Zheng Zhiyan, and said with a smile: "Sixth brother, don't fall into the trap. If I make a move in Ningbo now, I will really become a rebel, and I will also implicate my eldest brother."

"Fourth brother, can't we just let them take you away?"

"Capture him? Hahahahahaha, do you dare to ask his name, this general?"

"Humph, I am the staff general, Lu Yuying."

"Lu Yuying? What a familiar name. Oh, I remembered it. Weren't you the commander-in-chief of Fujian? My eldest brother fought with you before he was recruited, but you were vulnerable. In the end, he was because of I wanted to recruit you, but I didn't chase down your remaining soldiers. I just captured you and respectfully released you three days later. Is it you? Wow, the battle was so bad that they didn't kill you, but instead Are you still asked to change your position as a general? It seems that General Lu’s backstage is very tough.”

Lu Yuying's face immediately turned red when she heard this, and she pulled out her saber. Zheng Zhipeng did not dodge, but instead took a step forward, pushed aside the two rows of small soldiers looking at each other in the middle, stared at Lu Yuying and said calmly: "If you really have If you have the courage, just chop me to death. If you don't have the courage, wouldn't you feel embarrassed if you draw the sword so recklessly?"

"you……"

"Well, I can roughly guess who is behind you. It's not difficult to guess what the crime of arresting me is. I dare to ask General Lu, do you want to escort me back to Hangzhou or into the capital? "

"No, it's Nanjing City! You misappropriated military rations without permission, occupied Ningbo Mansion, oppressed the local people, and disrespected the Tianjia vassal king. All of them are serious crimes. I am forcing you to return to Nanjing for interrogation!"

Zheng Zhipeng frowned when he heard this, then turned to Zheng Zhiyan and said, "It's bad, something might have happened to my eldest brother."

"Big brother?"

Zheng Zhiyan is a little confused. Isn't this the person who came to arrest you? Why is he still related to his eldest brother?

"The person in charge of Nanjing now should be Wen Tiren. Although this person's character is poor, he is not a rotten scholar who only knows how to talk. He is still capable. If the eldest brother is An Ran, I don't believe he dares to attack me at this time. Before I felt something was wrong when Liu Xiang was attacking the city. How could Liu Xiang get away and attack me so quickly?

Even if the eldest brother can't find him, he must be able to intercept him and prevent him from going south. At least he should buy me half a month. Now it seems that it is very likely that the eldest brother is really out of touch. Something has happened, that's why he is so confident. "

"This...how could this happen? Then what are you waiting for? Why are you pretending to be a loyal minister and a dutiful son? You are going against your mother!"

No wonder Zheng Zhiyan was confused. You must know that the person he admires most in his life is his eldest brother Zheng Zhilong. Since this year, he has added a fourth brother Zheng Zhipeng. But now, suddenly something happened to both brothers in one night, and Zheng Zhiyan immediately felt a little uncomfortable.

"Don't worry too much. My eldest brother has been traversing the sea for decades, and it's not for nothing. Even if there is a little problem, I believe that eldest brother can turn disaster into good luck. As for me, you don't have to worry. As long as eldest brother is fine, I will It must be fine. With Wen Tiren, he doesn't dare to interrogate me. Don't worry, I have a backup plan."

"Fourth brother...I...I'm a little panicked. Tell me what I should do now."

"Don't panic. Go to Yan Yingyuan and ask him to help you stabilize the situation in Ningbo. Don't make a big mess. Don't worry about anything else. Don't do stupid things. Do you understand?"

Zheng Zhiyan wiped her tears and nodded heavily: "Yes, I understand."

Zheng Zhipeng then said to Lu Yuying with a smile: "General Lu, it is easy for you to catch me, but if you let me go, it will not be so easy. Even if you kneel down and beg me, I may not agree."

"Ha, what a big joke. I hope you can be so confident when you get to Nanjing. Are you going to be captured without mercy now?"

"Please wait a moment, General Lu. I have something else to explain to my subordinates."

After that, Zheng Zhipeng secretly whispered to Li Gang, and Li Gang nodded in agreement. Then he asked people to put the shackles on him, and asked with a smile, "It's easy to put it on, but it's easy to take it off." It’s difficult.”

"Humph!"

…………

Early the next morning, the entire Ningbo Mansion was in a mess.

If Zheng Zhipeng hadn't stood up to appease the people, the entire Ningbo Mansion would have exploded last night. Lu Yuying finally understood what this special thing is called prestige. Zheng Zhipeng was obviously being held in the prison car, but the result was that the stone was broken with a clanking sound. Greet them as soldiers.

If they were ordinary people, under such circumstances, they soldiers would surely disperse if they were frightened with weapons. However, these people followed Zheng Zhipeng and defeated Liu Xiang. Zheng Zhipeng also imitated Li Shimin's method of using soldiers. Thinking, every household has weapons, so when Lu Yuying and the others threatened, the people were not false at all, and they were about to attack them directly. It was Zheng Zhipeng who spoke in person, repeatedly saying that he was voluntarily following them, and that it would not take long. Will come back, and this avoids a big fight.

In the end, although the battle was not over, the victims all knelt on both sides of the road with tears in their eyes to see Zheng Zhipeng off. It really felt like a ten-mile long street, and Zheng Zhipeng was quite moved.

As for Zheng Zhipeng's two thousand followers after leaving the city, they stayed close to each other, but Lu Yuying was frightened by the scene in Ningbo Mansion. In addition, although Zheng Zhipeng was living in a prison car, he behaved like a confident gentleman. It made him feel a little guilty, worried about whether Zheng Zhipeng could really get out.

It wasn't until he was walking through the city of Hangzhou that he saw a person who suddenly blocked his way. He immediately felt confused and wanted to slap himself in the mouth. He cursed secretly: "Why did you get so distracted and come here? It’s over, now it’s in the volume.”

But I saw that the person blocking the road was very grand, but he was smeared with makeup, holding an orchid and pointing: "Hey~ Isn't this the Fourth Master Zheng of the Zheng family? Why is he locked up? Fourth Master, why haven't we seen each other for only a month? You I’ve lost so much weight!”

Zheng Zhipeng said with a smile: "I am not as good as Eunuch Yang. I am born to worry about life. On the contrary, Eunuch Yang seems to be a little fatter."

"Ah! You dumb thing, how can I gain weight when everyone is starving in the disaster year? This... General Lu, right? Fourth Master and I are very close friends, can you? Can you please let me see the fourth master off for your convenience? Don’t worry, it’s just a bottle of wine and a few dishes. I’m afraid he won’t come back, so I’ll treat him to a nice last meal, okay?”
